Yes, I will start posting on this blog again. Someday. There are life factors that have taken my attention away from this blog. Mainly the fact that I don’t have internet access at home right now and have to go to the public library to get online. Plus a new, exhausting job. Plus a new boyfriend. All that adds up to some pretty distracting math.
No worries though, I will return…..
Yup, I missed Monday again. Ah well, it’s never too late for happy thoughts.
Have a happy Earth Day, y’all! I’m sending positive thoughts to my friends, terre and Clever Monkey, who will be seeing FotC perform in Toronto tonight!
As my friend, Zeze, pointed out, I forgot to post Monday Happy Thoughts last week. Ironically, last week was terrible for me. I fully blame last week’s horror on the absence of Monday Happy Thoughts.
To make up for last week and in hopes of making this week a good one, I’m going to post a super-sized list of happy thoughts.
Hope it’s a happy week for everyone!
By far, the best 80s one hit wonder that mentions Gary Cooper.
BTW, why was everything in the 80s so creepy?
I have been getting quite a few calls within the past couple of months that have been the same automated message telling me that the warranty on my vehicle is about to expire. I’ve never listened to the message all the way through, but it is definitely always the same message. At first I just didn’t care that the warranty on my truck was about to expire because it’s about ten years old and I don’t have any money to spend on extending a warranty on it anyways.
Then one day I happened to read something online about calls from scammers about vehicle warranties expiring. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember where I read that. But I did find a site called CallHunter where you can plug in the phone number that a suspicious or harassing call came from and search to see if anyone else has had any experiences with a call from that number. Really, it’s just a nice, quick way to see if a call is legit. Sooooooo much easier than trying to google information to see if a call is for real or not, which I’ve had to do before.
I went through my caller ID history on my cell phone and searched for the phone numbers on the CallHunter website that the vehicle warranty calls came from. For each one, someone had written that they had received a call from that number saying their vehicle warranty was about to expire. One lady wrote that she told the caller that she had just purchased her vehicle the day before, then they said they were talking about her previous car, she told them that she had already traded that car in, and then the caller hung up.
I added my own call experiences to each of the phone numbers that I researched on the site. I hate stupid phone scammers like that. We used to get toner scam calls in the office I used to work in all the time. I encourage anyone reading this who has received suspicious or harassing phone calls to use the CallHunter site to look up the phone numbers and to add your own experiences to it. And watch out for those vehicle warranty calls!
Have a lovely day!
Oh, and….HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAR BEAR!!!
For some reason, candy has been a running theme in my life the past couple of days, so here’s a music video to add to that theme. Mmmmm, candy.
The next installment.
Have a happy day, everyone.
It’s Thursday. Fancying nostalgia like I do, I have been thinking about old commercial tag lines lately. I thought that others might like to take a stroll down Memory Lane with me, so I’ve made a list of old ad slogans that you rarely hear anymore.
Might as well turn this into a little game while we’re at it. See how many of these you can remember and name the product it advertised.
